Topographic Amplification Effects

Topographic Amplification Effects is a geophysical phenomenon in which the natural topography of a landscape selectively intensifies ground motion during seismic events due to the interaction of seismic waves with irregular surface features, thereby increasing the amplitude of shaking at specific locations compared to surrounding areas.
